Riassunto:

A poetic introduction to ecological philosophy draws on the intimate relationship that exists between indigenous traditional "sorcerers" and the animate nature that surrounds them to reflect on new forms of perception that radically transform our experience of the natural world.

Dal risvolto di copertina interno: s, word magic, the speech of stones, the power of letters, and the taste of the wind all figure prominently in this intellectual tour de force that returns us to our senses and to the sensuous terrain that sustains us. This is a major work of ecological philosophy that startles the senses out of habitual ways of perception.
